Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 101 Stability
When seeing Hojo Shione off, Shiratori Seiya thought for a moment and asked her if she had finished tidying up her house and if she needed any help.

In the end, I received a response like, "Although there are still some things that aren't quite done, I should be able to sleep well tonight. And you've had a long day, so if it's convenient for you tomorrow, could you come and help me?"

As Hojo Shione entered the room, Shiratori Seiya returned to his bedroom.

He lay on the bed, his dark eyes fixed on the lights outside.

After a long pause, he chuckled.

shameless.

He mentally berated himself on behalf of Shion, Saori, and Mio.

The reason he made everything clear to Xiyin earlier was partly because he felt that "I've already told you the truth, so it's your choice to decide," hoping to feel at ease even if they ended up having sex.

On the other hand, it was also to make Hojo Shione back down and give up this abnormal impulse.

In my mind, as long as I say something like "I won't give you any official status right now," she will most likely not have a relationship with me.

Having already done such a thing, how could Hojo Shione possibly be so magnanimous as to not want any status and have a relationship with him?

Of course, Shiratori Seiya does not deny the depth of Hojo Shione's love for him; to be honest, she loves him even more than he realizes.

Given special circumstances, even without marriage or dating, she would probably be willing to be with him.

Shiratori Seiya had no doubt that she would be willing to give everything for him.

But... if the condition is sharing with Saori and Mio, then she would absolutely not agree.

If I had to explain why...

Shiratori Seiya believed it stemmed from Shione's strong possessiveness.

If that incident at the concert hadn't happened, he wouldn't have noticed any of this based solely on her meeting him at the school gate and her nonchalant departure.

But now, seeing Hojo Shione move across the street from his house, and considering everything that had happened, he understood.

Some women are born with a desire—a desire to attract and capture men regardless of their well-being.

Hojo Shione is probably that kind of woman, right?

She was like a black hole, wanting to completely devour herself, ultimately leaving herself no light at all...

Although there was some pressure, Shiratori Seiya didn't dislike the feeling of being completely loved.

If I had to explain why, it would probably be because I've always been alone, both in my past and present lives, and have never experienced such profound love before.

For the first time, Shiratori Seiya deeply felt that something money couldn't buy.

However, to be honest...

He genuinely liked Xiyin's love for him and deeply enjoyed it.

But the premise is that everything doesn't get out of control.

Therefore, it is especially important to keep Xiyin calm, otherwise who knows what crazy things she might do next.

If the fire is kept under control in the stove, it's just enough to provide warmth, but if it gets out of control and burns down your own house, then you'll be in unbearable pain...

Of course, he wasn't entirely confident that he could control Xiyin today.

If she really doesn't want anything, and is even willing to have a relationship with him without knowing the details, then he won't really push her away.

Shiratori Seiya didn't consider himself to be a paragon of virtue, capable of remaining unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

She's already gone to such lengths, so what more could I ask for?

If she wants these things, then let her have them.

Regarding tonight's events, Shiratori Seiya admitted that he was indeed quite cunning, even to the point of being wicked.

He doesn't like to scheme, but that doesn't mean he won't.

Judging from the current situation, if I really do nothing and just sit and wait to die, letting these people do whatever they want, then I probably won't have a good ending...

That nightmare kept replaying in my mind...

"Ugh……"

Shiratori Seiya sighed deeply.

He originally just wanted to make money, but now he's becoming more and more like a scumbag.

He closed his eyes and thought about Takahashi Mio for a while, but then he fell asleep.

The next day.

Due to his biological clock, Shiratori Seiya opened his eyes to find it was just dawn. He checked his phone and saw it was just past six o'clock. A few days ago, around this time, Saori would have come to find him for a morning run in about ten or twenty minutes.

However, even without her, Shiratori Seiya would still go for a morning run every day, and ordinary wind and rain could not stop him except for typhoons and earthquakes.

I'm not sure if I'll have a next life, so I'm trying my best to take good care of my health so I can live a little longer.

In November, the weather turned noticeably cooler, especially after the rains at the end of October completely extinguished the lingering summer heat. Shiratori Seiya felt a chill on his neck as he pulled back the covers.

Finally, the season has arrived when people won't look at us strangely if we wear long sleeves.

He sighed inwardly, but had no intention of wearing thermal underwear. It wasn't that he wouldn't feel cold, but wearing it would make his body feel bulky and restrict his movements. So, unless it was snowing, he wouldn't wear those.

While washing my face, I subconsciously pulled open my clothes and saw the teeth marks on my shoulder that had already scabbed over. I reached out and touched them, and a sharp pain shot through me.

That's really ruthless...

With a sigh, Shiratori Seiya was about to return to his bedroom to make his bed when he heard the doorbell ring.

He turned his head and glanced at the entrance.

Saori is back?
This was the first thought that flashed through my mind, but then I realized it must be Xiyin.

If you were to ask why it wasn't Mio, given her lazy and comfort-loving nature, she should be snuggled up in bed, enjoying its warmth.

However, Mio has probably been worrying about how to convince her family these past few days, and probably hasn't been sleeping well. Who knows if she might suddenly come over?

Thinking about all this, he walked towards the door, and habitually glanced through the peephole, only to find that it was indeed Xiyin.

'Click. '

The door opened, and Hojo Shione stopped fiddling with her hair, looked up, and gave him a gentle smile:

Good morning, hymns.

Her voice was noticeably better, and she no longer had the self-conscious and gloomy aura she had yesterday. It seemed that moving in and seeing Shiratori Seiya had really lifted her spirits.

Hojo Shione raised her hand, held the paper bag containing breakfast in front of him, and smiled brightly:
"Since we just moved here, I haven't had time to make breakfast, and I didn't know which shop you usually like to go to, so I just bought some random things..."

After speaking, she waited two seconds and noticed that Kiyoya was still standing at the door staring at her. She blinked her clear eyes and asked cautiously:
"Um...can't we eat together?"

Shiratori Seiya glanced at the packaging of the breakfast paper bag.

He knew this shop; it wasn't too far, nor too close, but it would take about twenty minutes round trip, or half an hour if he was slow.

Looking at Hojo Shione's bare face, she must have woken up around 5 a.m.

Originally, Shiratori Seiya's emotions were calm after waking up early in the morning, but her actions made his feelings complicated again.

As he made way for her to enter, he said:

"You don't need to go so far to buy breakfast so early in the morning. You just moved yesterday, you should get some rest..."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione stopped bending down to change her shoes, first turning her head to look at him strangely, then smiling slightly:
"I see. If I walk there next time, you'll be even more touched, right, Kiyoya?"

Seeing the stunned expression on Shiratori Seiya's face, she smiled and playfully punched his chest, her gaze sweeping over the spot where she had bitten him yesterday, and said softly:
"I drove there, you idiot..."

"Walking is an option, but it takes a long time to do makeup, so I guess I'll have to drive and be lazy~"

After saying that, she walked briskly into the house, leaving behind a clear, bell-like laugh.

Upon entering the living room, she quickly laid out breakfast on the table, then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and looked at Shiratori Seiya with tender, watery eyes, saying:

"Are you hungry? Eat it while it's hot."

Remember to wash your hands first!

As she spoke, she walked into the bedroom on her own, expertly folding the blankets as she did so.
"I don't know if you have class today, Kiyoya. If you do, don't bother me. I took a week off from school recently, and I don't have anything to do anyway. I've packed up pretty well."

"Oh, right, Kiyoya, I washed your clothes yesterday, but they're not dry yet and I haven't ironed them, but you should be able to wear them this afternoon..."

Seemingly remembering something, Hojo Shione stopped folding the blankets, turned her head to look at the obviously thinly dressed boy, and said:

"It's getting cold lately, won't you be cold wearing these? You've always been like this, your knees will hurt when you get old..."

Standing at the door, smelling the steam from breakfast, watching the girl folding blankets in the sunlight, and listening to her caring words, Shiratori Seiya suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Unlike Saori's innocent and naive concern.

Without realizing it, the roles seemed to have reversed, from taking care of others to being taken care of.

Tranquil, warm, and peaceful.
